Matthew Melia, 35 from Mersyside and his wife DanDan, 33, are attempting to raise £25,000 so they can bring their daughter back to the UK after she was born prematurely, in China. The couple, who live in Shenzhen, China had expected their two children to be born this month but due to complications, DanDan gave birth to daughters Mia and Scarlett via caesarean section on May 3. Scarlett and Mia were transferred to a hospital in Guangzhou, nearly 100 miles from where Matthew and DanDan live. There, they received CT scans which showed major problems for both babies and Scarlett´s condition was so severe that Matthew and DanDan were faced with the decision to stop treatment altogether, Liverpool ECHO reported. Scarlett Rose passed away in Matthew's arms on June 8; this was the first time she had been held by her dad. Mia underwent brain surgery at just 6 weeks old and is fighting the many complications of being born prematurely. Matthew's mum Sue told the Liverpool Echo: "We just want to bring Mia home and doctors think she will need a shunt put in which is an internal drain on the brain but we don't want that to be done in China. 'We have been out of our minds and want the three of them home so we can help to take care of them. "The communication from the hospital to the parents has not been great and from the start, doctors have been telling them to stop treatment for the babies and give up on them, but Matthew and DanDan did not want to do that." Mia is now eight weeks old and has still never been held by her parents. There is a strict no-visitor policy in the neonatal units Mia has been in, even for parents. Matthew and DanDan have only seen Mia through a window){kind=link}
